Biography and artistic approach.

Marina Herber

Since 2007 I'm independant and I obtained the artist statute in 2012.

My style is all about cartoonesque pop art, a universe of very meaning fantastic characters, often very abstract, with bright coulours and a frank, organic and unique stroke…

After studying cartoons and art, I worked as layout artist at the « Service National des Sites et Monuments », I also worked in the antique furniture restoration and as cameraman for Arte, M6, Mtv and Anubispictures ; it is really important for me to put some action in my wild ideas. My graphite drawing of my sketches transforms itself in acrylic paintings on canvas. For me the best moment of the evolution of a work is the transition from the ideas to the sketches.

Since 2005 I've exhibited in several galleries and collectives in Europe and Canada. In 2013 I represented Luxembourg at the « Jeux de la Francophonie » in Nice, in 2014 I won the incentive prize EVBK Prüm and more and more often I go to Normandy because I found there a lot of resources for a lot of projects to share with the Luxembourg.

I illustrated some books : « Le diptère empoisonné », « 24 Kulinareg Recepter », « Melusina » in 2014 and the booklet and website of the « Bee Secure » campaign which won the first prize at the « Police internationale ».
